All user space generated SKBs are owned by a socket (unless injected
into the key via AF_PACKET). If a socket is closed, all associated skbs
will be cleaned up.
This leads to a problem when a CAN driver calls can_put_echo_skb() on a
unshared SKB. If the socket is closed prior to the TX complete handler,
can_get_echo_skb() and the subsequent delivering of the echo SKB to
all registered callbacks, a SKB with a refcount of 0 is delivered.
To avoid the problem, in can_get_echo_skb() the original SKB is now
always cloned, regardless of shared SKB or not. If the process exists it
can now safely discard its SKBs, without disturbing the delivery of the
echo SKB.
The problem shows up in the j1939 stack, when it clones the
incoming skb, which detects the already 0 refcount.
We can easily reproduce this with following example:
testj1939 -B -r can0: &
